Venus, Mars and Jupiter were all in Taurus, so everyone born that day carries a strong Taurus streak alongside their Aries Sun. Venus and Mars sat less than a degree apart in Taurus, a close conjunction shared by every chart from that day.

Planet signs are only part of the picture. Your rising sign changes about every two hours and the Moon moves half a degree an hour, so your exact birth time and place decide your houses, angles and Moon degree.
